This previously unissued performance is not from the more well-known Bee Hive session recorded by Max Roach himself on November 7th 1955, and subsequently issued after Clifford’s tragic death (and still available in its complete form on Lonehill LHJ10128). The Roach-Brown Quintet had in fact played at the Bee Hive (a South Chicago bar) earlier the same year, on June 30th, and it is this ultra-rare session, now issued, that was privately preserved on a portable, non-professional tape recorder - and presents the group with Harold Land on tenor (who would be replaced by Rollins in November), Richie Powell on piano and George Morrow, bass. It includes the only existing version (22 minutes +) of “After You’ve Gone” by Brownie and a 15-minute, poignant blues improvisation.

As a bonus on this double CD, there is another complete live session - recorded in New York in February 1956 - with the same personnel except Sonny Rollins replaces Harold Land. Although this concert was previously issued, it is extremely rare and was only previously included on a long out of print 1982 LP entitled “Pure Genius”.

Reviews
Jazzwise - Keith Shadwick
The music is consistently excellent.
Jazz Journal - Mark Gardner
Excellent and essential examples of his peerless trumpet playing. Fifty years old it might be, but this music communicates with the same immediacy and impact as in the moments of its birth
